After spending a few years in Los Angeles, MTV’s VMAs will return to The Big Apple next month.

Airing August 20th across all of its platforms, the 2018 MTV VMAs will take place at Manhattan’s Radio City Music Hall. Leading all nominees is Cardi B, who racked up ten nominations including Video Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Artist Of The Year. Meanwhile, JAY-Z and Beyoncé grabbed eight total nods.

Other multiple nominees include mianstays Childish Gambino (with 7), Drake (with 7) and Bruno Mars (with 6). MTV is also continuing its new tradition gender neutral categories, with both men and women being nominated across all the genres (rather than being separated into gender-specific categories).
